The only hardwood that I have is black walnut and more of it than I need, so the question is has anyone ever painted it? I know it's a sin but I don't want to go out and buy more wood if this will paint nicely. What I don't want to end up with is grain telegraphing through or something in the wood bleeding through. I suppose I could just try and paint some but I'm concerned with the long term outcome

Do you understand how hard it is to find good black walnut right now? The price is slowly rising and the quality is dropping fast.

What are you making that you are painting it? Will Poplar work, cheaper then the Walnut and it paints beautifully.

Hi, sorry I missed you. I have gone to find myself, but if I return before I get back, please ask me to wait.

“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.” - Mark Twain
